For this week the challenge was to take an image that told a story of love. My first attempts at this photo were to take a picture of my wife and I. They were pretty basic. Just the two of us standing in front of a bare wall in our office. After submitting that to the Dogwood Chatter Facebook group from some constructive criticism and realizing it was not a great photo, I decided to try something else.
Last year our family welcomed a new baby. She was our fourth child and our first girl. We absolutely love our boys but there is something very special about welcoming a baby girl into our family after having three little boys. So I decided to try to capture an image that conveyed a bit of what it is like for me as a new “girl dad.” I ended up with an image I absolutely love and it echoes an image I took for a previous year of the challenge using the hands of my wife and I which I will post below.
